I like the total here. Gerrit Cole can be a dominant force on the mound, but his historical stats against the White Sox are not great. He’s allowed the roster a .280 BA and .815 OPS over 82 at-bats. Chicago starter Dylan Cease’s back numbers are a bit better, .262 batting average and .819 OPS over 42 at-bats, but certainly not impressive. Additionally, his current form is dismal, allowing 11 earned runs over 7 1/3 innings pitched in his last two starts. Take the Over 8 -110.
